Old School Blogging: It’s a thing!

This is a pretty cool link up. I had no idea this party was going on. I’ve read a few posts that seemed to be answering some getting to know you type questions, but I didn’t know it was a thing until this week. I was invited to participate by Joi at RX Fitness Lady. It’s a once a month meme; the July meme theme is “List of Fives”.

Five Things I
Have A Passion For

Animals. But I don’t have any. I
have fish and I really don’t like them very much.

Nature. I don’t want to camp
in it or anything.I just like to look at it.

Health. I wish there was no
such thing as Doritos and Ice Cream. And Krispy Kreme donuts. And Mike &
Ike’s.

Recycling. Not really. I’ll recycle
at home but I’ll throw a water bottle in your
trash.

Apple
products! Dead serious.

Five Things I’d Like to Do Before I Die

Ride in a hot air balloon.

I don’t know now. I kinda just freaked myself
out.

Five Things I
Say a Lot

Really? Like when I get up to
use the bathroom in the middle of the night and my husband rolls into my spot within
the thirty seconds that I’m gone.

You have GOT
to be kidding me. Like when I heard the verdict
last weekend.

Dang! When Christopher was 5, he said he could tell this was a bad word.

Crap! I tried to say crackers instead but I never remembered.

Wow. Like when I heard the verdict last weekend.

Five Books And/Or Magazines I Have Read Lately

I’ve read/listened to all of
these this year! I am so proud of myself. I started with Alex Haley's Roots after I saw some
of the series around the Christmas holidays. Then I wanted to read other books
of movies that I have seen. The titles in bold were WAY better than the movies –
like no comparison better.

Gone With the Wind

The Color Purple

Their Eyes We’re Watching God

Joy Luck Club

Roots

Five Favorite
Movies

I can’t tell
you how many times I’ve watched them and I’ll watch them every time they come
on.

Shawshank Redemption

An Affair to Remember

Pretty Woman

The Color Purple

Lady Sings the Blues – hmm I wonder if this one is a book

Five Places
I’d like to Travel To

I’d prefer to stay in
the United States and look at nature.

Colorado

Areas surrounding
Yellowstone

Vermont

Key West

Arizona

Five People I invited to Do This
Meme

I’m the first one to never
participate; so I’m just gonna say YOU!

Here’s the thing… I had ‘ride in a helicopter’ under something to do before I die. I totally changed my mind and opted for riding in a hot air balloon instead.
